Questions

Social Value Bill – Jan 2013

What the Act requires public authorities to do… They must consider:

economic, social and environmental well-being of an area.

2. How, in conducting the process of procurement, they will act to secure that improvement.

Adopted at April 2013 Cabinet

Local Employment:

residents, inc people with disabilities and support people into

work and work experience placements

2. Adopt an approved Jobs and Skills policy which is applied

at every stage of the procurement process

that the young people of Birmingham are equipped with the

right skills to match the requirements of the labour market.
